You're using {}s around the items, which means that the spaces are
passed as arguments too, so `itemlist' barfs.  To fix it, use []s:

  @itemlist[ @item{Foo} @item{Bar} ]

(This is in contrast to `itemize' that works with {}s too -- it just
ignores all-whitespace arguments.  That's because it predated the
"discovery" that it's better to use []s.)
